Music Festival

Last night was our performance night at the South Otago Schools’ Music Festival. It was a fantastic night and was really awesome to hear all the schools come together and perform after all our hard work practicing. Our item was a song by the band The Script called Superheroes. Our students did a super job and sounded fantastic even though there were a few nerves about the big crowd, even from Miss Chapman and Miss Taylor! It certainly was a great night. Thank you to all of our parents and families for bringing your children along to the event. Check out our item below.

iTrailers

Miss Ward has got us making iTrailers about our school and all the fantastic things we do in it. iTrailers are such a cool way of advertising and showing things. We love using the iTrailer app and we are very lucky that we have seven iPads we can use in our classroom to create them!

Check out some photos of us below making our iTrailers. Keep an eye on our blog and school Facebook page for our finished iTrailers!

Pull Apart Afternoon

Last week at the working bee, there was a big clean out of some cupboards in the school with some old electrical equipment being found. This gave us the idea of having a 'Pull Apart Afternoon'. We invited students to bring along any old electrical items to 'pull apart'. This initiative tied in nicely with our current technology unit. There was lots of banging, smashing and pulling at our afternoon of pulling things apart. The students had a great time and found out how things worked with there being lots of great discussion around how and why things work.

See some photos below of our afternoon:

A hammer means serious business!

Numeracy Night and Disco

Last Friday we had our Numeracy Night and Disco.  Parents were invited along to listen to a presentation about Numeracy (maths) while the children danced the night away at a disco.  Thanks to Mrs Ramsay for organising this fabulous event.  We have had wonderful feedback from the parents that came and the children loved the disco!  The Numeracy presentation was relaxing.  The audience joined in, playing some simple games while enjoying nibbles and refreshments.  Each family got a pack of games to take home to play and we are pleased to hear that some families have been playing them!  Thanks to everyone who helped out with this night in any way and all those that came along, it was a huge success! 

Here is a copy of the presentation that was shared.
